China Mobile Electric Smart Metering – Internet of Things Case Study

Smart meters have been deployed by many utilities around the world, and with the technology available to smart meter manufacturers and utilities improving rapidly over the past few years, there is always an opportunity to refresh implementations or add new, more efficient technology to a rollout.

China Mobile’s automated meter reading (AMR) service for electric utilities consists of an NB-IoT connected smart meter and the cloud based OneNET management and application development platform, all supplied by China Mobile, and which can be deployed by a utility or in industrial parks and intelligent buildings. The solution optimises the meter reading process and enables accurate billing for electricity consumption, which has been an issue in some Chinese markets.
